Hello Alexander,
you are right, but this is not my point. My point is there is no consistent
way, a typical new user (one which does not read manuals) can find out how
to perform elementary tasks.
- If you right click on a move there should be an option "Add comment",
which maybe just opens the comment window.
- The "Game" menu should have an option "Mark as deleted"
- The deleted flag should be per default the first one in the database game
listing. As alternative deleted entries could be grayed out.
- If a user right clicks on a deleted game he gets the option to compact the
data
The idea is simple. Imagine there is a new user looking for an alternative
to Chessbase. What will he try first: Create a database, create a new game
with variations and comments, remove it ... These tasks should be intuitive
without reading the manual.

This is working as designed. It does absolutely not make any sense to
compact a database all the time.
